How does your wardrobe compare to the top 100 reviewed fragrances?

On the right-hand column of the Review Centre is a list of the 100 most reviewed fragrances.

How many of them do you own?
[my answer is in brackets]

In the top 25? [10]

In the top 50? [19]

In the top 100? [32]

What percentage of your wardrobe is in the top 100? [30%]

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, and sorry I could not travel both and be one traveler, long I stood and looked down one as far as I could to where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair, ...... I shall be telling this with a sigh somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I -- I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference. - Robert Frost

Interesting! In the first days of my acquaitance to basenotes, the list of top 100 reviwed fragrances was a kind of guide for me to know if a main stream product has the value for paying attention to it or not!!! This list show-in some ways- the amount of attention a scent captured from perfume lovers.

I suppose I'm a lemming!

Lets not forget that the top 100 reviewed fragrances dont necessarily demonstrate the "most popular" scents... just those that compel users to review them.

I have contributed to the popularity (or notoriety) of some scents in the list by writing reviews of those I feel are HORRENDOUS. The good, the bad and the ugly appear there in that "100 most reviewed".

Re: How does your wardrobe compare to the top 100 reviewed fragrances?

as Dmitri said a lot of the reviews are not positive. They've just been reviewed a lot. Take Guerlain's Vetiver — I bet the reviews split 50/50 and people are buying it because it's the first thing thay look at when they get to Basenotes.

They're also the same fragrances that were there when I joined over a year ago. It's a viscous circle.

Take Kouros as an example, 28 reviews out of 100 were thumbs down and there were quite a few neutrals. Not enough for me to fire up the Harley and go screaming through red lights. Nope

Top 25: 6
Top 50: 10
Top 100: 14

Total percentage: 48&#37;

What does that say about me? Not really sure other than I obviously don't know a lot of the "niche" fragrances yet. I just bought a dozen or so samples of some frags I couldn't find around here at Macy's or Dillard's, so I am giving it a shot!! :-)

About 25&#37; of my wardrobe. I've tried most of the list, and have no plans to buy anything else that's currently on it. And one time, I might've owned a lot more, but I've got rid of things I don't wear much.
